SpaceX has teamed up with Vast to launch Haven-1, the world’s first commercial space station, on a Falcon 9 rocket to low-Earth orbit by August 2025. The launch will be promptly followed by Vast-1, the first human spaceflight mission to Haven-1 on a SpaceX Dragon spacecraft where a four-person crew will dock with the space station for up to 30 days while orbiting Earth.
The ultimate goal for Vast is to construct a 100-meter-long multi-module spinning artificial gravity space station launched by SpaceX’s Starship transportation system. To achieve this, Vast will first conduct the world’s first spinning artificial gravity experiment on a commercial space station with Haven-1. The company has already secured an option with SpaceX for a second human spaceflight mission to Haven-1.
